        by Emily Palmer/Josephine Llobet

        Fiona simply doesn’t know what she should do first: Leo, the owner of the farm, is very depressed, and even the funny tricks of Sunny, the sparkling pony, can’t cheer her up. What’s more, the mysterious island on Lake Sparkle is to be sold, and that would be a disaster! There are so many sparkling tasks to be performed that Fiona almost overlooks a vital clue. But fortunately, her sparkling pony Sunny is still there. Just like the black horse Opal and his friend Jana, who together show that with the right amount of sparkling magic, all problems finally disappear…

        Franz Anton Mesmer

        Or Exploring the Dark Side of the Moon

        by Thomas Knubben

        Mozart and Hegel, Jean Paul and Edgar Allan Poe: they were all fascinated by Franz Anton Mesmer (1734–1815). The forester’s son from Lake Constance was regarded as one of the most controversial doctors of his time. Some celebrated him as a miracle healer for his theory of “Animal Magnetism”, while others discredited him as a fraud. Thomas Knubben wonderfully narrates this scintillating life story set in a turbulent time of change. A story of exceptional giftedness and tragedy ... Mesmer left his mark on the epoch: his theory became the original source for concepts in psychoanalysis, hypnosis and psychotherapy.

        Tolerating Democracy!

        About arguing in a society of indignation

        by Karoline M. Preisler

        Are we all still only moving around in our bubbles, unwilling and unprepared to engage in the positions of "the others"? Will only someone be heard who polarises and defames loudly enough, who ignores facts, denies them, twists them, who even calls for violence? The debate over the corona measures has given a new urgency as we address the question of how democracy can be lived and protected in times of an erosion of the centre and social cohesion. Karoline M. Preisler asks herself these questions and, as a passionate democrat, advocates creating new tools and meeting places for the necessary dialogue on controversial topics such as the limits of freedom, religion, climate crisis, immigration and the family.

        Verhängnisvoller Champagner

        Ein kulinarischer Krimi. Xavier Kieffer ermittelt

        by Hillenbrand, Tom

        Ein aufsehenerregender Mord in einer Kellerei – und Ermittlungen, die die dunklen Geheimnisse der Champagnerindustrie enthüllen. Seine Lehre hat der Luxemburger Koch Xavier Kieffer einst in der Champagne absolviert. Als er dort einen alten Freund besucht, der inzwischen ein Champagnerhaus leitet, wird er Zeuge eines schrecklichen Unfalls. Oder war es Mord? Kieffer beginnt zu ermitteln und muss feststellen, dass sich hinter den luxuriösen Fassaden der großen Champagnerhäuser allerlei Geheimnisse verbergen – und dass nicht alles, was perlt und moussiert, auch tatsächlich den Namen Champagner verdient. Während seiner Recherchen in Paris, Reims und Luxemburg lernt der Koch, dass manchen jedes Mittel Recht ist, um im globalen Milliardengeschäft mit Schaumwein mitzumischen.

        The Persian Gulf triangle

        Strategic relations between Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United States

        by Luíza Cerioli

        This book offers a nuanced snapshot of the complex geopolitical dynamics in the Persian Gulf, underlining the interaction between Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the US. Examining their interwoven relations since the 1970s, Luíza Cerioli's framework reveals how changes in US-Saudi ties have ripple effects on Iran-US and Iran-Saudi relations and vice versa. Using a historical lens, she explores how enduring US-Saudi connections hinge on order expectations, delves into the cognitive factors shaping US-Iran enmity and traces the source of oscillation in the Saudi-Iran ties. Employing Neoclassical Realism, the book investigates status-seeking, national identities and leadership preferences, offering a deeper understanding of the region's multipolar system. By combining International Relations and Middle East Studies, Cerioli's work contributes to both fields, unravelling the intricate interplay between international structures, regional nuances and agency in shaping Persian Gulf geopolitics.

        Strange matter

        Medieval disruptions of time

        by Martin Bleisteiner, Jan-Peer Hartmann, Andrew James Johnston

        Medieval and early modern texts reflect a fascination with material objects, from ancient heirlooms to ingenious automata. Often imbued with power or beauty, these objects carry an uncanny sense of otherness, their mysterious origins evoking wonder and suggesting temporal and spatial distance. Acting as repositories of temporal alterity, such artefacts bridge the past and present in profound ways. This volume, featuring contributions from experts in literature and art history, explores how texts from these periods use material objects to engage with temporal otherness. From everyday items to marvellous creations, objects challenge distinctions between human and material, natural and cultural. Whether examining the hybrid status of Hector's body in Lydgate's Troy Book or the temporal agency of humble bubbles, the chapters illuminate the vibrant networks connecting people and objects. By highlighting the 'hybridity' of matter, the book offers fresh insights into Bruno Latour's critique of nature-culture divides.
